HÖCKER POLYTECHNIK celebrates its 50th anniversary
Just like in the early days, with a full commitment to clean air and much else besides
More than 45,000 sets of equipment have been delivered during the first fifty years of HÖCKER POLYTECHNIK’s existence, ranging from mobile dust-extractors to large filter systems with capacities exceeding 300,000 m³/h.
The business organisation HÖCKER POLYTECHNIK GmbH, which is based in Hilter, near Osnabrück in Germany, was founded in 1962 as a company known simply as Polytechnik. At the very beginning, its main area of activity lay in the marketing and installation of economic, energy-saving extraction systems. The company’s range of core products has expanded since then to include briquette-making presses, shredders and filter systems.
Within just two years of its founding, HÖCKER POLYTECHNIK was already employing a 20-strong workforce. Our team now consists of over 160 highly-motivated employees and 20 apprentices, based at our main site in Hilter and also in various branches, technical offices and representative organisations, both at home and abroad.
HÖCKER POLYTECHNIK started to expand elsewhere in 1966, with the startup of its own production plant in Austria. This was followed by the setting-up of production and sales operations in Poland, southern Germany, the former East Germany, Russia, Switzerland and South Africa.
Back in Germany, HÖCKER POLYTECHNIK now leads the market in the field of extraction and filter systems, and also pneumatic conveyor systems designed for use in the carton and corrugated-cardboard industry.
